Review: Nurses' nails lifesaver - Second time I'm buying this. I work at the hospital & use hand sanitizer all day long so my nails are very brittle. This is a life saver. It dries quickly, I did notice the difference after about a week of using it. However, I do apply 2-3 layers. You need to let it dry fully between layers otherwise the polish forms little bubbles. And yes it does peel if you play with it, like other strengthers I used, but it is the best one I had by far. Review: For Strong Nails Look No Further Than Here - Essie is THE nail doctor! - I have tried them all: OPI, Dior, Sally Hansen - BUT I ALWAYS come back to this one. Here is why: 1) it lasts long (if you apply two layers); 2) it gives a gel like clean french look; 3) it really hardens/strengthens weak nails - give it a few weeks; 4) the brush is perfect for precise application; 5) Did I mention the nails look healthy and happy? Love it! Highly recommend! ## Features - essie Hard to Resist Advanced Nail Strengthener: Hard to Resist is a clear tinted nail strengthener for damaged nails.

If you have a salon gel mani then you should go to the salon to have it removed. There are at home tricks but you need to be careful not to mess up your nails **Q: Can you use it over a french manicure? Will it prevent yellowing?** A: Yes, you most definitely use it over any color. I have used it over french manicures, reds, neutrals, etc. and I've never experienced any yellowing with my nail color. One thing I can say, is it definitely works better with other Essie nail polishes...absolutely no chipping! However, it still prevents major chipping with other brands and prolongs the nail color. **Q: I prefer clear polish. Can this be used by itself or with only a base coat?** A: I do not see why you could not use it by itself. I do on occasion just use a base coat and then top with the gel setter, mainly because I have a base coat that I like so I do not polish my nails without it. **Q: Is this polish easily removed with regular polish remover?** A: Yes it removes easily with regular nail polish remover. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nurses' nails lifesaver *by O***A on 10 May 2025* Second time I'm buying this.

I've tried many different growth serums etc but this has been the best so far. It stays on for a long time without chipping and noticeably helps with growth and strength after a week or so. ## Frequently Bought Together - essie nail care, strengthener treatment, vegan, Hard To Resist Advanced, 0.46 fl oz - essie Nail Care, 8-Free Vegan, Strong Start Base Coat, strengthening nail polish, 0.46 fl oz - Essie expressie, Quick-Dry Nail Polish, 8-Free Vegan, Nude Pink, Checked In, 0.33 fl oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/722972429-essie-nail-care-strengthener-treatment-vegan-hard-to-resist-advanced](https://www.desertcart.us/products/722972429-essie-nail-care-strengthener-treatment-vegan-hard-to-resist-advanced) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-17*
